Talkin‘ the Talk With Don
Since 2009, I have interviewed some of my favorite artists. I cover a lot of genres because, well, I love all kinds of music. From Classic Rock to Black Metal and all else in between, if I love an artist, I want to talk to them! I try to set a relaxed, ”living room” type of vibe and have a conversation and talk about anything.

It’s hard to believe that it was nearly 30 years ago when I first heard Dangerous Toys. Dangerous Toys had a few MTV Headbangers Ball hits with songs like “Teasn Pleasn”, “Scared”, and “Gimme No Lip” just to name a few. The band had two hit albums, their self titled debut and Hellacious Acres which […]

Back in 1989 I was in 10th grade when this little band from Memphis released a song/video called “Walkin’ Shoes.” That band was Tora Tora and they would go on to be one of those sadly short lived bands. Tora Tora released their debut album Surprise Attack and followed it up with what I consider […]
